LINES  FOR  AN  OMAR  PUNCH-BOWL. 

(To  C  B.) 

Ornar^  dyings  left  his  dust 
To  the  rose  and  vine  in  trust. 


"  Thro'  a  thousand  springs/'  said  he, 
**  Mix  your  memories  with  me. 

**  Fire  the  sap  that  fills  each  bud 
With  an  essence  from  my  blood. 

*'  When  the  garden  glows  with  June 
Use  me  thro'  the  scented  noon 

"  Till  the  heat's  alchemic  art 
Fashions  me  in  every  part. 

"  You,  whose  petals  strew  the  grass 
'Round  my  lone  inverted  glass, 

''  Each  impassioned  atom  mould 
To  a  red  bloom  with  core  of  gold. 

**  You,  whose  tendrils,  soft  as  tears, 
Touch  me  with  remembered  years, 


'^-^.iii' 


SS^S^^SS^SS^^^S 


"  Where  your  globing  clusters  shine 
Slow  distil  my  dreams  to  wine ; 

**  Till  by  many  a  sweet  rebirth 
Love  and  joy  transmute  my  earth, 

**  Changing  me,  on  some  £ar  day, 
To  a  more  ecstatic  day, 

"  Whence  the  Potter's  craft  sublime 
Shall  mould  a  shape  to  outlast  Time/' 


V-  mar's  body,  Omar's  soul. 
Breathe  in  beauty  from  this  bowl. 

At  whose  thronged,  mystcr-Ais  rim 
Wan  desires,  enchantments  dim. 

Tears  and  laughter,  life  and  death. 
Fleeing  love  and  fainting  breath. 

Seem  to  waver  like  a  flame. 
Dissolve, —  yet  ever  rest  the  same, 

Fixed  by  your  art,  while  art  shall  be. 
In  passionate  immobility. 

22  Test  9th  street.
